Again, there had always been open (but light) speculation concerning Brian Snitker\u2019s future with the ballclub so it wasn\u2019t hugely surprising that this day would actually come. Still, it\u2019s pretty tough to imagine that this would\u2019ve been the final go-around for such a venerable veteran as Snitker. The somewhat sudden announcement of Snitker\u2019s exit from the managerial post is a bit of a shock to the system when it comes to an organization that\u2019s been known to send off their long-time vets in an extended and classy manner.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">We all saw how Chipper Jones\u2019 retirement tour went. Bobby Cox certainly received his flowers on his way out and it ended with a 2010 team that accomplished something greater than the sum of its parts on its way to the Postseason. We just got done watching Charlie Morton ride off into the sunset. So why didn\u2019t we get that chance to send off Snitker in a similar fashion?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In a way, it almost seems fitting that longtime baseball man such as Brian Snitker who entered the managerial role with such little fanfare back when he took over on an interim basis in 2016 would eventually leave with a similarly-muted reception once he had left the chair. Despite all of the wins, the accolades and the World Series title that came along with that, Snitker has reained true to himself throughout all of that and it was certainly apparent during his final press conference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Coach Eddie Perez and players like Spencer Strider, Ozzie Albies, Michael Harris II, Drake Baldwin, Joe Jim\u00e9nez and Reynaldo Lopez were all on hand for the presser, as Braves President of Baseball Operations\/General Manager Alex Anthopoulos sat by Brian Snitker for the big press conference. It all started with Braves Chairman Terry McGuirk presenting Snitker with the keys to a new Ford truck, tickets for an all-expenses paid, First Class trip to Hawaii and flowers for Snitker\u2019s wife, Ronnie.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/GsPrMgiIoVyA7yipsl22bA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/sb_nation_articles_115\/834d078fe12a467abe26dbaa5fecdf72\" alt=\"Brian Snitker: \u201cIf you wait to retire until you\u2019re ready, you never will\u201d\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><dialog aria-label=\"Image Lightbox\" aria-modal=\"true\"><\/dialog><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\">Once that was done, an emotional Snitker fought back tears as he delivered some prepared remarks. \u201cWhen I signed [the contract extension, 2025] was to be my last year and I was excited about it because it put a reality to it. I was really good with it \u2014 honestly, I never figured I\u2019d manage one day in the Major Leagues, let alone 10 years,\u201d stated a clearly emotional Snitker. \u201cI never thought I\u2019d hoist a trophy or be around a group of guys that makes this so special. We\u2019ve been fortunate here to have probably the greatest group of players, coaches, the whole building. I said this after we won the World Series: It takes a whole building to do something special and I\u2019ve been blessed to be around great people within the Atlanta Braves organization. It\u2019s about the players \u2014 the relationships and friendships that I\u2019ll have for the rest of my life. It\u2019s so special and I\u2019m excited to continue being a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">That last part referred to the fact that Snitker is moving into an advisory role within the organization \u2014 a role similar to the one that Bobby Cox held before he was forced into stepping back due to health concerns. Snitker went on to say that he told a couple of players that \u201cYou\u2019re not getting rid of me. I\u2019m still going to be here. I\u2019m going to be at spring training.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">He also went on to admit that he did have second thoughts about potentially returning \u2014 a decision that was allegedly in his court if past reports were to be believed. \u201cThis is the truth: Until like the last three weeks of this season, I talked about this being my last year. But when you\u2019re sitting in this seat and you\u2019re in the heat of battle, I said that I needed a little bit of time after that last out [on this past Sunday] to decide what I want to do. It was after I got home and I got to decompress a bit that I did decide that [retiring] is the right move.\u201d Snitker continued with a bit of sage advice: \u201cIf you wait to retire until you\u2019re ready to retire, you never will.\u201d He went on to say that he\u2019s ready for this next step and that he was grateful that he did sign that contract for three years in order to have a bit of clarity as to how his tenure as a big league manager would end. \u201cOnce a Brave, always a Brave. That\u2019s true. There\u2019s nothing like it,\u201d said Snitker.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/IPKP58aeVX0EdBfLuw3GEw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/sb_nation_articles_115\/7b627aa6c99d9de8cffbe90c770c7231\" alt=\"Brian Snitker: \u201cIf you wait to retire until you\u2019re ready, you never will\u201d\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><dialog aria-label=\"Image Lightbox\" aria-modal=\"true\"><\/dialog><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\">Snitker went on to thank his players (some of whom, as he noted, have only known Snitker when it comes to big league managers) and he thanked everybody who he had built relationships with within the organization. He also thanked the media for the job they did in covering him and the team through both the good times and the bad. Overall, it was a very classy speech and statement from a guy who you really wouldn\u2019t expect anything less from.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Once he was available for questions, I asked Brian Snitker what moment did he enjoy the most during this bittersweet final season. \u201cTowards the end Nothing changed with the work ethic, the energy, the preparation, how they played the game,\u201d responded Snitker. \u201cIt didn\u2019t go our way a lot of times but we made a run there at the end and I was very proud of this team. I\u2019ve seen good teams check it in once they\u2019re eliminated. Our guys seemed to push on the gas a little more. I\u2019m proud of that. It just speaks volumes to who these guys are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">He went on to continue talking about how pleased he was with the final run to end the season. \u201cThey just kept making plays,\u201d said Snit. \u201cThey continued to prepare for the game. Every day they were like an American Legion team in that dugout before a game started, they were so excited to start another baseball game. They love playing, they love competing. That\u2019s a really great quality to have for a team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">He also took the time to single out a couple of players for praise as he continued to answer my question. \u201cHopefully I\u2019ll be celebrating in a few weeks [Drake Baldwin winning] Rookie of the Year, it\u2019s very well deserved,\u201d said Snitker. \u201cMichael Harris II had a really tough year where he was up-and-down but I remember telling him when we were walking off the field in Sacramento that I had so much respect for that kid. He\u2019s out there diving and climbing walls when a lot of guys who were going like he was wouldn\u2019t be doing that. That takes a special person to be able to do that and that\u2019s the epitome of what the team was.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/J7sqtRoxJ6hBp5Br3aXO5A--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTYzNDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/sb_nation_articles_115\/2a98ba31fac60150676c410db442dc20\" alt=\"Brian Snitker: \u201cIf you wait to retire until you\u2019re ready, you never will\u201d\" width=\"960\" height=\"634\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><dialog aria-label=\"Image Lightbox\" aria-modal=\"true\"><\/dialog><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/sKIEnkDoXVrzjgCOggR8mQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/sb_nation_articles_115\/54ddd947f5c5fa78f765e935fcead80e\" alt=\"Brian Snitker: \u201cIf you wait to retire until you\u2019re ready, you never will\u201d\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><dialog aria-label=\"Image Lightbox\" aria-modal=\"true\"><\/dialog><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"\">So while this past season was disappointing, it\u2019s important to realize that Snit was absolutely right about the team not mailing it in down the stretch. As fans, all you want is something tangible to root for and while the 2025 Braves were well out of the picture once the season started to wind down, it was obvious that they were still playing just as hard down the final stretch. It\u2019s a credit to the type of manager Snitker is and also an example of the makeup of this team (which Snitker also gushed about over the course of the press conference as well).<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">There\u2019s still plenty of speculation as to why there wasn\u2019t a grand send-off past this press conference \u2014 though Terry McGuirk did mention that Brian Snitker will be inducted into the Braves Hall of Fame next season and Snitker himself said he was already looking forward to receiving his flowers at that event. There will be exponentially more speculation as to who will be replacing Brian Snitker going forward. Atlanta is not the only team that will be looking for a new manager this offseason but they will certainly be one of the most attractive landing spots for any manager looking for either a place to latch on to or a change of scenery, even.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">For now, it\u2019s time to take a step back and appreciate what one of the most successful managers in the history of the franchise accomplished and to reflect on the contributions he made to what was a very strong run for the Braves \u2014 one which included a World Series title. The World Series rings that both Snitker and AA were rocking could both be seen from outer space and hopefully the next manager will be able to have one of his own to match what Snitker did while he was in that chair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After nine full seasons as manager of the Braves, Brian Snitker\u2019s days as a big league manager are done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":101499,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[71,3948,1014,361,1036,1332,3947,394,393,181,741,2375],"class_list":["post-101498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-bobby-cox","tag-brian-snitker","tag-charlie-morton","tag-drake-baldwin","tag-joe-jimenez","tag-managerial-role","tag-michael-harris-ii","tag-ozzie-albies","tag-reynaldo-lopez","tag-spencer-strider","tag-team"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
